yup... i'm not super excited but, it's nice to hear... i will play it no doubt but, i am not going to get all hyped up about it... i am not a FPS fan per-say but, i do enjoy one every now and then... this might be worth my time though because, i used to play the hell out of the first one...

looking forward to it though and it's nice to see it's finally going to see the light of day...

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.

As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:

You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.

Or:

You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.

You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

Yeah, i saw that last night. They showed a demo at PAX of the duke running around a football pitch killing a large boss. to be honest, i'm really happy they're finally finishing it. But it has been so long in production, i really don't see them making the money back...

But meh who cares, it's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all outta' gum!

I think the time for this game has long past. Nevermind that it'll be hard to remain cultural relevant.

my thoughts exactly. I think most people will play it because they know (other) people have waited for it, and I wonder if that's the only reason it's being developed, just so they can cash in on that.It might a good rental just to check it out ... I'm not even expecting it to have online, which is part of the reason why FPS have "replayability", so I'm wondering how many people will skip out on it for that.

I mean, Duke Nukem was blamed for Columbine, but if you compare it to Manhunt it's downright laughable. The only thing DN ever had going for it was tits, which we don't need anymore since I have free and clear access to Spankwire. It's the last thing I need is for Mom to come in while I'm strangling my joystick and shotgunning Zerg. Besides, if I need pixel porn I have God of War and Dragon Age. DNF should have been released before Halo; then it might have had a chance. DN is a FPS, add anything more and it's simply not Duke Nukem. I realize theres a dearth of memorable characters in video games, but can't we let this one die already?

The reason is that when heartless says something stupid, he really means it and believes it.

“They refer to me as an uneducated barbarian. Yes, we are barbarians. We want to be barbarians, it is an honored title to us. We shall rejuvenate the world. This world is near its end.”

I think that if they stay true to the old DN, it will fail because it is out dated. But if they bring it up to a modern standard, it will get slated for not being true to the classic. It's in a bad position tbh.

Exactly! Apparently they added an Ego Bar. No details on what that is yet. I think the only way to go is to stick to it's guns, and jack up the retardedness to an 11. More then anything, the game needs trashy George Thorogood style tunes and a lot misogynistic catch phrases that even Bruce Campbell would be uncomfortable in saying. And TITS! LOTS OF EM. A monster should be a thousand tit pile. With tits.

if it's got it's "bubblegum" one-liners, over the top action, and puzzles then it's hard to really mess it up... DN wasn't anything more than that and if everyone is expecting this deep story then they will be fooled... the story is simple... aliens/strange creatures are invading earth and taking all the women... blew them all the fuck back to where they came from... and have a good laugh while your at it...

if they make it anymore complex than that then, it just won't work... sticking with a simple plan of the aliens returning again is probably the best way to tackle this... throw in some humorous mini-games as well and your set... humor is the key... this game never meant to be taken seriously... it pretty much laughed at itself and kicked shit on it as well ...

I think they guys are sticking the the old Duke Nukem formula, which I think is good.This way the people that know what to expect from the franchise won't be like "What the fuck?"While on the other hand, people who don't know what to expect will be like "What the fuck?"

And Heartless, I thought most of his one liners and catch phrases were from Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, and They Live?

I haven't really followed too much into the game, and to be honest the only info we have is that it is indeed playable at PAX, and 2K posted a ustream with an interview but it's like more than 3 hours long. Other than that we have shitty cam recordings of gameplay.I think we need more formal information before we can say anything about the game, because right now it's basically "OMG It's Duke Nukem!"

Yeah, Bruce Campbell.

Duke is always relevant.

There have been a dozen new games since Duke3D. But they were mostly side projects done by other developers. DNF was made by George himself. All gearbox is doing is putting the pieces together. This game will be worth the wait.

If you've seen any of the leaked gameplay video, this game is definitely up to modern standards. Gearbox doesn't put out shit, and the gameplay for this game has been in the works for 12 years at least. All thats needed to make this a 10/10 game is some polish. Though, i don't think game reviewers will be fair to duke so it will probably end up getting a 7 or an 8 of 10.

All i care about is if it has rude and obnoxious catchphrases and plenty of gory exploding aliens along with a nice polished world to run around in, then I'll be happy. But it has to have some sort of narrative to keep me playing. The last one had nearly no narrative, mostly mindless killing, which i guess was relevant at the time.

Games these days need more substance than that, to be interesting, because we as humans are so demanding, we want that next best thing.

Is it just me or is she doing what i think she's doing at 0:47... ...Either snorting coke or giving DN a BJ!

pretty descent review of the demo game play, it sounds pretty good I guess.

i don't have to look at it to realize DN is giving THEM a BJ ... i think the feeling in that room, which i saw in one video a couple days ago, is that the duke is back and it was just amazing to be standing around and being one of the privileged few to be there... i'd give a 10 just because i was invited, lol ...

as far the game goes, i've already stated that in my last post... but if dupzor is correct in that they actually put a deep story behind it, i might have to turn it off... no offense to people that like games with rich stories (like myself) but, there's no need for a deep story in duke nukem forever... he's here to kick ass and chew bubblegum... but unfortunately for the aliens, he's all out of bubblegum...

i can see them setting up future games with cliffhangers at the end to make you think it's not over... but, there should be one thing on duke's mind... and that's getting some good 'ol fashioned revenge for trying to take away the things he loves on this planet... babes, booze and bullets...
